Hi all,
Currently considering either a current model Civic Type R or a Integra Type S and would like to hear other's opinion and experience with both cars.
Both are great handling cars with similar power/torque figures,
ITS - Power: 154kW @ 7400rpm
Torque: 194Nm @ 7000rpm
CTR - Power: 148kW @ 7800rpm
Torque: 193Nm @ 5600rpm
Would the ITS handle better since its rear suspension is Independent by double wishbones, whereas the CTR is Torsion beam?
Which would be the better car to drive?
the CTR would be quicker and feel nicer to drive , produces its peak torque 1400rpm earlier so you can accelerate and feel power without having to wait as long in the ITS
Which car is lighter as well??
im assuming u guys are talking about the FN2R?
then:
FN2R: 1345kg
DC5S: 1230kg
(from redbook.com.au)
btw would you consider another option --> EP3R. heard alot of good things about it.
heres something from topgear comparing ep3r vs fn2r:

Correct me if im wrong!
That extra weight would vastly kill off any advantage of the torque. But you can always get more power!
ITS vs FN2R?
Hmmz... i'd get the ITS!!
Doesnt look like a bitches car! lol

old thread but has a dyno comparison of a stock FN2R vs tuned ITS with h/i/e.
i'd get the EP3r love that car!
Ep3 Ftw
Fn2r Ftl
yeah i heard them ep3's are good why not give them a try *cough*
Where is the EP3 coming from??
OP has wanted opinions regarding current model CTRs and the ITS... stick to topic !! lol
why not to wait for the FD2R? There's a rumor that the FD2R will be available in AUS.
